Pros
Everyone is treated well, even interns. We got a Christmas bonus of $60 on a visa card. Then the next year we didn't get anything. I like the option of them giving us one if they are having a good year.

Cons
some of the people are not open to change and they are very stubborn sometimes. If they don't think your way is good off the bat, then they don't listen anymore. People are paid twice a month, instead of every 2 weeks. It just makes bills harder to pay

Advice to Senior Management
keep everyone on the same page and be open to ideas.

Pros
Very vertically integrated which offers a lot of opportunities to expand or change your role. Bobcat is also very aggressive in making strides in many of their business areas to advance to the next level. This reinvestment in the company is important as it provides again for more opportunities.

Cons
Some disconnect between departments. I think the culture is headed in the right direction for a change to this dynamic.

Pros
They treat their interns very similar to full time employees. They help you will challenging projects that prepare you for the real world. Management is very transparent and I enjoyed my experience.

Cons
Production facilities are located in small towns and that's not for everyone. Factory workers are not all friendly to work with.

Advice to Senior Management
It would have been nice to see some of the other facilities and departments within the company to expand employees knowledge of that all goes on at Bobcat.
